Indonesia's capital relocation project faces an unexpected crisis. President Jokowi announced the construction of a new capital, Nusantara, in Kalimantan (Borneo) in 2019, with a three-phase plan to be completed by 2040. However, the project is now in jeopardy due to the sudden resignation of two top officials and a change in government statements. This situation, occurring just two months before the planned relocation, is highly unusual. Lack of basic infrastructure, difficulties in attracting investment, and the priority given to the new president-elect Prabowo Subianto's free meal program are hindering the project's progress. The future of Indonesia's capital relocation project is uncertain, and this is expected to have a significant impact on Indonesia's overall political, economic, and social landscape. Will President Jokowi's long-held ambition be successfully realized?
